Christians, How do you know who to warn, if you're not judging them first?

Question

you always say you're not judging people you're warning them, so how do you decide who to warn of impending doom in hell if you aren't judging and condemning them yourself first? you can point to the bible, but that's just a tool, you make the judgement, the decision, yourself

Answer 1

Arrogance and Ignorance go hand in hand, off to the land of happily ever after! ; )

But wait...why are they all so angry?

Answer 2

Let's use an example. You see a child along a road and you warn the child that he will get hurt or die if he doesn't get away from the road. Are you therefore judging that he should die or get hurt? No. You are merely warning him that such a thing is likely to happen.
God, through the Bible, tells us what is right and wrong. He says for us to warn people of the consequences of wrongdoing. (Ezekiel 3:18-21)
God doesn't want anyone to die and neither do his servants.(Matthew 18:12-14); (2 Peter 3:9)
If by "hell", you mean a place of torment, that is not a teaching of the Bible. Death is the punishment. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10); (Romans 6:23)

Answer 3

Did u make the decision to put up the picture of 2 men kissing on ur profile? Now, that's a statement! Of what, I don't know. In the world I live n, procreation takes a man & a woman. Two men can not procreate the species. If they could, things would b alright, but they're not. anyway, don't throw ur self into the light of judgement if it offends u. If u want 2 hear the TRUTH of all things, seel out the HOUSE OF YAHWEH!!! Led by Pastor Yisrayl Hawkins!!!

Answer 4

Hayden and Lyle,
I will point to the Bible. We do not have to judge people living on this earth. Matthew Chapter 7 verse1 says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged". 2. " For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you". I have found that most of the time when someone is trying to judge someone, whether it be their actions or their character, they are insecure in their own life. The bible backs my theory up in Romans Chapter 2 verse 1 " You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things". The scripture says,(paraphrasing) 'we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We are none perfect, no not one'. The only way to the Father is through the Son Jesus Christ. No one should judge you. You know where your heart lies. We are all sinful in nature. Every single one of us. If someone is judging you, I am sorry. Tell them to stop doing God's job. He doesn't need any assistance. He is a powerful enough God to handle the job all by himself. As Christians, we do not need to judge others to invite them to accept Christ. Again, we are all born to sin. No sin is any worse than another. If you are walking on this earth, you have sinned. Therefore, in order to be forgiven for that sin we have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. If you have not done that yet, I invite you to now. Just pray and ask him to forgive you of your sins and come into your life and be your Lord and Savior.
God Bless you,

Answer 5

The fact is we actually don't know who to warn. We think we know but end up judging people. We have no right to make any judgement about what's really inside others' hearts.

Answer 6

The answer is simple, I am not the one judging because for me to judge would be the height of hypocrisy. The only person at all who has the right to judge is God because he is perfect. This is most clearly seen in John 8 when the pharisees, who were trying to trick Jesus, asked him if they should stone a women because of adultery. Jesus's answer was simple, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone". So no one has any ability to judge, all we are allowed to do is tell you that one day God is going to judge you and at that time you are going to have to make an account for everything you did in your life time.

So no I am not a judge and I can not be a judge. I am simply a messenger trying to get the message of salvation out which includes telling everyone( including the people who are the nice do gooders whom everyone thinks is going to heaven on their good works), not just murderers or homosexuals, that they one day God is going to judge them.

Answer 7

As Christians, we don't judge anyone else. Only God can judge someone. As He directed us, all we do is tell people about Jesus and His message.

If someone feels they are being judged, then perhaps they need to do some private soul-searching or studying the Bible themselves to determine why they feel that way. The Bible is where all the answers are. That's the bottom line.

Answer 8

OK Here it goes. we as Christians are to preach the good news to all... Not Just some, Not just a chosen few, But to ALL.. Our preaching the good news does not by any means save any, For the bible tells us that none will be drawed but by the holy spirit. And then it tells us there will be those who will not chose life, but rather death.
If you knew all the bible you would also know that the bible says to judge the spirit before you so that you are not lead astray by evil. So while you and others says we are not to judge you are mislead. we are not to judge our Brothers in Christ for Jesus is their judge, But we are to judge evil and stay away from it, And if you can curse Jesus and his people here Brother you are under Judgment both by Man and God.

Answer 9

You share your faith - you dont warn until you know their belief. Pretty simple. So, no, I don't automatically judge or condemn anyone. Are you angry at ALL Christians for this idea? If so you are judging and condemning without knowing how all of us deal with this issue. You made this assumption yourself. Is it not the same thing?

Answer 10

The warning goes out to everyone. We are to "preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15. Now to be more specific, it goes out to those who have not repented of their sins and put their faith in Christ. Because those are the ones who have either not heard the warning, or are not heeding it. How do we know which is which though? Well, by their fruit, would be the biblical response, and it works here too.

Answer 11
